You're Timothy Bradley : How do you fight Pacquaio?

Good post.

I still ejaculate watching Morales turn southpaw in that 12th round. ****ing legend!

 

:good

Good points well made.

Are you picking Bradley to win on points? I'm going with Manny but will be cheering Tim on.

One reason why Bradley is able to land the right hand pretty consistently is because he varies the trajectory of the punch. He can throw it straight, he can loop it, hook with it, and he can "triangle" the punch (throw it with the elbow aimed at the ceiling and land it around the guard). A lot of people say he shouldn't throw wide punches, but I think if he throws a few different styles of right hands, even wide ones, he'll be able to keep Pac off balance and wondering where the next attack might be coming from. Once Bradley gets into a rhythm, this is what he does. He freezes an opponent by mixing up his shots, rendering them ineffective in the process.

In terms of strategy, he's got to make sure that he's close enough on the cards that he'll be able to carry the day once he gets into his groove. Easier said than done, since Pac starts fast and Desert Storm traditionally takes a while to get rolling, but if he can box from the outside, make Pac miss and then close the distance to work him over in the clinch, he might be able to steal the round or two needed to be within striking distance once the second half of the fight rolls around.

It's not an impossible task, and Bradley should be able to make a good run at it. I personally think he falls just a bit short and drops a close and possibly disputed decision, but wouldn't be completely shocked if he were able to pull out the upset victory.

 

Max Kellerman said it best when he said he does everything well but isn't great at anything. His mental attributes are definitely his main strength imo.

Regarding him getting a fair shake, i think Manny's last fight showed that it's damn near impossible to win a decision against him nowadays. Marquez gave him a lesson and no way did Manny win 7 rounds.

 

give pacquiao lots of movement and pacquiao's done. he won't know what to do when he can't land his left. also, rough him up.

 

you saucy ****

 

good eye

This is the first thing I noticed about Timmeh when watching him whoop Devon's AZZ, how he knows how to throw punches from crazy angles.

 

Take away his right hook or straight left. The guy does not have a variety of punches. Simply relies on the 1-2 combination when the opponent is at a distance. Use lots of lateral movement and feints and the guy would look bad.

 

:yep

He tried to right hook against Tijuana. Tijuana just had enough craft to cover his left flank by countering via check hook.

He has the psychology of a bully and doesn't handle being cut well in genera. Juan gave him a cut on every single encounter as he was whooping his AZZ via Dinamita special. Timmeh is top 3 p4p headbutter today.

check hook that *****

 

1. Keep your left foot on the outside of his right foot aslways and keep moving to his right so that he has to lunge in with jabs and keep out of reach with his str8 left.

2. Beat the drum as often as possible, get inside his arms to steal punching room and leverage and unleash as many body punches as you possibly can to take away his legs.

3. Do not square urself up even when leading in or trading punches, you gat to realize you are second best in handspeed so you lead with your chin tucked and behind your left shouder as you jab in and you always double hook with the same arm, double right hand inside or double left hook outside his lead right foot.

4. Never let your head be in front of your lead left foot as you design a str8 line from the head to the lead foot. You simply get outa balance and do not be able defend yourself well.

5. Do not get outa control or to brave. Health and your family is the most important, do not back up your words that you wnana feel the pain. As soon as you realize you can't compete, just box to fight for another day, you already cashed in so what's the problem?
